We may be several months from the first ballots being cast for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, but former Vice President Joe Biden is running away with the race. Yes, anything conceivably could happen between now and when the Democrats officially select their nominee next summer, but Biden is firmly entrenched in the catbird seat and will likely stay there barring a major turn of events.
According to the most recent RealClearPolitics average of national surveys, Biden is leading the 20-plus candidate field by more than 16 points. Biden is also leading in the Democrats’ first four February 2020 nominating contests: Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina.
Now, contrarians, on both the left and the right, have and will continue to argue a litany of reasons why Biden won’t win the nomination. They claim that not only is Biden a white male, but he’s also too old to be the nominee. They contend that history is against Biden given that this is his third quest for the Democrats’ highest nomination. They assert Biden is gaffe-prone and the energy and future of the party lies with the progressive wing, not with a swamp creature with a 36-year-long Senate career of appeasement to corporate interests. Or they will say that Biden is simply just the beneficiary of high name identification. They also insist it is way too early to make such a proclamation because there are still 12 sanctioned primary debates on the calendar. All of these rebuttals are wishful thinking.

The Caucasian Hussein? Ew, probably worse. Have the investigations even begun?
This all based on the same polls that didn’t tell us Cankles stole the nomination and had a 98% chance of winning the election?
My bet is Biteme doesn’t have a chance in Hell of beating Bernie in a straight-up contest.
But Democrats don’t believe in doing anything straight-up.
His to lose? He lost it the day he was born a pale male. And he’s now stale.
Most leftist women are prejudiced,vengeful,selfish and arrogant. Taught since the early 1970s to be totally self-absorbed and that the men owe them everything for their past male privilege.
How are they going to loosen up and vote for a male who is white?
Idea: maybe they will quietly stay home like the generations of good men did between Reagan and Trump.
Blacks and women down in the vote totals nationally in 2020. Sounds great to me.
Plugs was in first meetings with Obozzo to investigate Trump.
I like the title.
Biden probably will be nominated to lose, big time, to Donald Trump!
so, 38% favor Biden. That means 62% don’t.
MSM and the DNC have decided creepy Joe has the best shot so they are bending over backwards to help him. It just sucks we have the entire media establishment working to help one party plus social media. The founders never planned for that. It’s like spotting a football team 21 points.
That’s an extremely soft lead. He couldn’t even take on Mrs. Clinton last time.
“How are they going to loosen up and vote for a male who is white?”
Oh, trust me, they will. Good little sheep they are.
How come Nancy, Schumer, or any of the other liberal idiots don’t run since they’re always telling Trump how to be the president?
It’s good to know the MeToo movement doesn’t exist when it comes to Democrat presidential candidates. They sure went quiet when the salvo failed.
Exactly.
And all the Ukraine, China stuff will never see the light of day in the MSM. Roamin' hands? Ah he's a sweet ole' harmless romantic.Meaning it's all a non-starter.
He'll pacify the women/black/gay wing of the party by choosing Stacy Abrams, Kamala or some other woman 'of color'.
Can you imagine Stacy Abrams POTUS? Help!!!
Also, I don’t see who is going to catch him.
Bernie isn’t making a move yet, and he’s the strongest.
None of the rest look like they are going anywhere.
What a comedown for the commie wing. And old white guy with decades in D.C. working for the establishment.
“Plugs was in first meetings with Obozzo to investigate Trump.”
Yes. And I think that this might well be Biden’s un-doing once Barr and Durham release the information of Spygate and how it began. He was in it deep, and his “aw shucks” attitude might not get him through this time.
How much do the people who vote democrat, really care about this country?! biden would be another obama 4 years... and we don’t need to go backwards... who in the world would want another obama disaster?!
Do they care? I think a huge number don’t know squat and don’t care. IF it hit them... IF it hit their pocket book, their job, their family.. they’d care. But if it does not hit them directly, they’d vote for a madman and think it smart.
I’d like to send the FBI to arrest some beaurocrates.. some media.. I wish Trump would use his privilege and make waves enough to do the things he had on e list.
Pale, male, and stale is no way to go through political life, Son. (Apologies to Dean Wormer).
‘Blacks and women down in the vote totals nationally in 2020.’
really...? since they saw what happened in 2016 with such a tactic, what makes you think they would knowingly repeat such a strategy...?
‘What a comedown for the commie wing. And old white guy with decades in D.C. working for the establishment.’
true enough, but if it results in defeating Trump, they’ll jump in with all guns blazing...
